Update on 2024 awards
In recent months many digital workplace practitioners have shared that they are operating in increasingly challenging environments that have included restructurings, budget rationalizations and reorganizations. This has fallen right in line with our CEO Nancy Goebel’s 2024 predictions including that Digital Workplace leaders would start the year as chaos coordinators and finish as outriders.
This environment prompted pause our Digital Workplace of the Year Awards programme this year to give digital workplace teams a chance to refocus and build on strategic outcomes. We look forward to resuming our awards programme in 2025.
